So admire artists because I've always thought how great to be that creative. Like them all, but love the Lest We Forget. I like your theme too...be the person. I've never been to Melbourne so this was great your sharing..thank you. Our small town will be having their Arts Festival this coming week-end. Always enjoy walking around and seeing the creations. :)

I love that quote: Be the person you needed when you were young. Sadly though, children of abuse rarely let anybody know what they are facing (I know I didn't). Still, I get to be the parent now, that I needed back then!

I feel inadequate responding to you, but I think being an outspoken voice on behalf of those that don't have it (or don't know they can have it) is probably helping many children survive abuse or escape abuse. We have a responsiblity to watch out for ALL kids at risk. Thank you for so generously sharing.

I remember Jo Tracey used to share pics of Melbourne Street art and I was always a little surprised at how amazing some of it was / is. I was in Melbourne earlier this year for a few days but did no exploring - and barely left the hotel as I was there for a conference thingy and we had evening events etc...

I love the top quote or those similar about being the friend you wish you had etc...

Melbourne is a great city. I love that "Be the person you needed when you were young". BE is my word of the year so this really resonates with me. Gives me another element of my BE mindset. Love it.#teamlovinlife
